The WB Network is back for the dead – on the Internet anyways.

The television station, which merged with UPN a few years back to become the CW, is reappearing on the web, according to Variety.

The site will allow users to watch old WB favourites – including Dawson’s Creek and Veronica Mars. It will also stream non-WB related content including Friends and the OC.

It is unknown at this time whether Canadians will be able to access the site, or if it only has American distribution rights.

Jane Seymour, best know as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, is returning to the small screen.

WB Network president David Janollari announced Thursday that Seymour, 54, will star in a new sitcom called “Modern Men”.

The series, which will debut on The WB midseason, is about three men who seek the aid of a blunt-spoken life coach to help them with romance and women. Seymour will play Dr. Stangl, the female coach who helps the childhood friends improve their relationship skills.

“Modern Men” also stars Josh Braaten, Max Greenfield, Eric Lively, Marla Sokoloff and George Wendt. It is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Seymour is a five-time Emmy nominee and has won two Golden Globes, including one for “Dr. Quinn.” She has not had a regular television role since that show ended in 1998.
Seymour can currently be seen on the big screen in Wedding Crashers, alongside Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.
